Reviews for Land Art as Climate Action: Designing the 21st Century City Park: Land Art Generator Initiative, Mannheim

"""This volume documents a design competition led by art-design group Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) on the occasion of the 2023 German Federal Horticultural Show in Mannheim, Germany. Their goal: transforming a deaccessioned US military base into a clean-energy park that both benefits and involves a community formerly excluded from the site. . . . The program as a whole provides an imaginative template for developing greening programs in other urban communities.""-- ""Choice"""
